What separates Band-Maid from all other bands, imo: strength of songwriting, proliferous creativity; quality and depth of musicianship; unique Individual style & captivating performance; palpable band synergy; expansive soundscape; and consistency of excellence. All of that requires years of long hours of hard work, laser focus, compatibility, and a shipload of talent. Piece of cake! Thx, Shredder!
WARNING is one of BAND-MAID's very best song. The action packed video demands so much attention that I can be hard to appreciate just how good the song is. Listen to the audio some time.
Nice to meet you. I always enjoy looking at your works. I am Japanese and I would like to explain the lyrics used in this song. ------------------------------------------------------ "鬼さんこちら、手の鳴る方にOni-san kochira, te no naru hou ni (Come this way, Oni ＝ogre, in the direction we clap our hands)" is a line from a musical song sung in an old Japanese children's game called "目隠し鬼mekakushi oni (Blindfolded Oni)," which is played by a child. In this simple game, one child plays the role of an "鬼oni (ogre)" who is blindfolded while the other children clap their hands and sing, "Oni-san kochira, te no naru hou ni", and run around to avoid being caught (the Oni chases to touch＝caught). However, the escaping children intentionally stay just in time to be touched by Oni to add excitement, and Oni goes groping to touch them, but playing games by feinting and so on. If you read those lyrics while imagining this situation, you will understand MIKU's intention, right?
@@armynurseboy What is characteristic of MIKU's lyrics is the abundance of metaphor and the fact that he leaves the interpretation of the lyrics to the listener's mind; for every 100 people, there are 100 different interpretations and 100 different answers ―― this is how MIKU's lyrics are intended (IMO). Many lyricists employ a lot of direct expressions/words in order to deliver their message to the listener in an easy-to-understand manner. In this respect, MIKU has the courage to hide her own thoughts and leave the matter to the listener. To this end, I am always impressed by Miku's deep thoughtfulness in selecting and cleverly arranging the expressions/words she employs.
@@mikeholmes5308 the transcription of japanese words is called romanji.. not english because then it would be translation.. it's japanese language transcripted to roman alphabet.. it's neither oni nor ani.. it's onii.. and older sister is onee
WARNING was my favorite song until FROM NOW ON showed up. Has it all. Did the video assist? Who knows? But always at the top of the top tier for me. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 1.99
@@RogerChance5309 Yeah, this came out about 4 months after my discovery and added another level to the level that was already past the highest level. 🔥🎵😎
Pausing during Band Maid solos is never a problem. They can stand several repeats. Poor old Kanami stuck on top of a car. She is no fan of heights apparently.
The director of Mad Max should have replaced the guitarist on the truck with Kanami🤣⚡🎸 Thanks for the reaction. I've never enjoyed this song that much before, but it was fun to see it through your reaction🤟
"The whole gang is here" (in the stunt scene) Nope, Miku wasn't there. She was literally busy flying around filming the stunt scene from the above...probably🕊💕
I need to get a splitter for my mic for that. I surely will include them more when i get that. It is difficult to get them to settle down for a video at their age though too lol
Opening riff middle section almost sounded like Cliff Burtton doing Anastasia..... i come for the freestyles but i always hang around for the reactions

This song makes much more sense now, thank you!
It's also a metaphor for being misled while being kept in the dark about things. I think this song may have been a dig at their old label.

Thank you for that explanation, Pohojisan!
I understood the Japanese, but not the background. Thank you. Sounds like the game (ONIGOKKO) portrayed in Catch Me If You Can, by BABYMETAL.
Oni-san is a ghostly demon in Japanese folklore.
It's also the "It" in the Japanese kid's version of blind man's bluff
It means "older brother"
@@Prober61 I believe the English transcription for older brother is "Ani" (older sister is "Ane"). I'm learning Japanese because of Band-Maid :)

This guitar is a hit or miss for me so far Iol. I couldve played a bit cleaner. I am very honored that you come for the intros!
Hot chicks and heavy riffs, what more can you ask for
